📋 About This Mod
This simple mod changes the duration that armour and weapon improvements last to more realistic values. Both improvements now last for a full in game day (roughly 96 minutes) after which they wear off. This duration makes them more useful
Gear Improvements Last Longer (GILL) is a simple tweak mod for The Witcher 3 that extends the duration of armour and weapon improvements to a full in-game day (roughly 96 minutes), making them more practical for extended play sessions. Ideal for players who find the default durations too short.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 7,167 endorsements and 162,197 downloads — clearly a well-loved tweak.
- Makes improvements actually useful for long play sessions instead of wearing off mid-fight.
- Lightweight and simple — no bloat, just a sensible duration change.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLC.
- Only affects duration — if you wanted other tweaks, this mod does nothing else.
For Witcher 3 players who hate reapplying weapon and armor improvements every few minutes and want a more immersive, less tedious experience. Skip if you're on the latest game version and worried about mod compatibility, or if you prefer overhaul mods that change more than just timers.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod is from 2017, check if it works with your game version — if you're on the latest patch, test it early to avoid crashes.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily enable/disable this mod if you run into issues.
- If you're also using other gameplay overhaul mods, load order might matter — place GILL after mods that alter improvement stats.
